Join the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for an intensive three-day choral course designed for young singers aged 12 6 17.

The course is inclusive and suitable for singers with some prior choral experience who can read basic sheet music. Students will develop sight-singing, vocal technique, ensemble skills and performance confidence, with the week culminating in a 30-minute concert for invited friends and family at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
The short course takes place on campus in Glasgow (Renfrew Street / Wallace Studios locations). Further practical information (materials, preparation, and final logistics) will be provided to participants prior to the course.
